Fairmondo UK is the UK’s first co-operatively owned online marketplace. Our aim is simple: to make it easy to find the ethical online from an ethical business. Aggregating ethical sellers and goods in one marketplace and creating a brand that becomes synonymous with the best in this sector. We are a part of a global movement of co-operative businesses (starting with fairmondo.de, Germany 2012) connecting the local and working to create a new kind of transparent, democratic, open & participatory Internet.

Fairmondo UK is the trading name of Worth Cooperating Ltd, a workers co-operative. We describe ourselves as a bunch of citizen activists who asked ‘why isn’t there a co-operative version of Amazon or eBay?’. Collectively we have a set of social media marketing, networking, coding, project management, management and people skills. Rather deficient in everything but prepared to have a go.
-												Migrate co-op pages from old site

I ran `ruby migrate_coop_pages.rb` in `scripts`. There will need to be
some manual tidying up of the generated `.md` files under `_coops` but
I think this is a good start. As a one-off it doesn't warrant the time
it would take to improve the migration script.

-												Fix & normalize Coop frontmatter YAML

Also ensure newline at EOF.

This was achieved by running the new normalize_coop_frontmatter.rb
script which basically reads in the frontmatter, parses it and dumps it
back out.

I had to manually fix some telephone numbers which had been incorrectly
parsed as some kind of number rather than as strings.
